Flip thought it said "Nurse" instead of "Nuke".

"That's some nurse!"

Yes, I'm showing my age.

Indeed.

The image of Reagan in a superman costume still breaks me. :D

Genesis rules, Yo!

Remember the show D.C. Follies? It was basically the 80's version of Crank Yankers.

Wasn't it called Spitting Image?

That was some good television.

It´s an older version of the page, probably restored from a backup.

Apologies guys, I should have made an announcement about this earlier, when I noticed it. I've kind of had a lot to deal with this week.

I had thought at first that it was just a dead network connection. Took a day or two to diagnose as a toasted hard drive because the machine itself was booting ... I should have figured, as I have something approximating the worst luck in the world with hard drives.

So, a quick hard drive order, an overnight shipping, and an OS reinstall from a friend, and the web server is now back up and running. PHP configurations and libraries are now restored for the site, and configured for the current server's settings.

Mail is gonna be another day or two, sorry about that guys.

Jon, Gab, can you check over the releases page, and see if there's anything there that needs to be updated? The site is restored from a backup that was last updated (I think) sometime in mid March.

And this would, of course, all happen on the weekend I've got a conference.
